GeForce GTX Titan X vs Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1680 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		235 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (6%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition should be 37% quicker than the GeForce GTX Titan X in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 122752 (37%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition should be quite a bit (more or less 40%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX Titan X. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 76800 (40%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition is superior to the GeForce GTX Titan X, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11520 (12%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
